Lunch Menus and Free School Meals

Lunchtime Arrangements

All students are encouraged to stay at school for lunch. Our chef, Linda Vipond, and her staff use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to prepare delicious hot meals. A sandwich bar, pasta pots and paninis are also available in both Durham and Brancepeth dining rooms. A meal deal costs £2.60. If you think your child might be eligible for free school meals, please contact us. The dining rooms operate on a cashless system using ParentPay. Any student who wishes to leave site at lunchtime is required to obtain a lunch pass and be supervised at home by their parents during this period.
